Topic: Interesting Hop Article (Read 3013 times)

I was looking for something else and stumbled on a pretty good (possibly dated) summary of hop breeding and the parentage of some common hops. I haven't even managed to crack open my copy of Hops yet, so maybe this is all old news.

Thanks Sean. Interesting. So does (or has) anybody dry hopped by warming them up for a day 1st? I've done a ton of dry hopping, but always from the old school approach,ie., keep em cold.

I don't warm up the hops before dry hopping, but after being out of the freezer for a couple hours they're up to room temp anyway. Then the go into the fermenter or keg, which I usually leave at room temp for 5-14 days. So what's the difference?

I'm guessing that a .25 ton bale of hops takes considerably longer to come up to room temp than your dry hop addition Denny (perhaps not a safe assumption?) so I would guess there is 0 difference as the net effect is identical.
